Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Performance difference in shorter barrels ?
Posted: 1/20/2008 9:04:36 AM EDT
Actually accuracy ?
I enjoy the 1LB. difference in these two carbines.
What will I be giving up going to the 16" Barrel?

what is the performance difference going to be past 300 meters?



308T 16" barrel "Long Range Heavy Barrel"






308C 18" Bull Barrel

The only thing you'll give up is bullet speed{fps}. It might be very little considering its only 2" but the bull barrel design will give better harmonics with translates into better accuracy.
